Transform your Ferrari 296GTB or 296GTS with the Redstar X-Pipe OPF and valve delete - a focused performance exhaust upgrade that replaces the restrictive OPF and factory exhaust valve assemblies. Purpose-built for the 2022+ Ferrari 296 platform, this mid-section X-pipe frees exhaust flow and sheds weight for a sharper, more engaging drive.
By removing the OPF and valves, backpressure is reduced to unlock significant power gains, faster turbo spool and noticeably crisper throttle response. The change in flow dynamics also helps lower under-bonnet temperatures and supports turbo longevity, while delivering a richer, motorsport-inspired exhaust note that amplifies the character of the 296 V6 hybrid powertrain.
Engineered for an exact fit with OEM mounting points, every Redstar system is 100 percent TIG welded and back purged, built from premium 2.0mm wall 304 stainless steel with CNC machined flanges. Available with advanced thermal shielding and material upgrades, this is a true bolt-on performance exhaust solution from Redstar for Ferrari 296 owners seeking uncompromised quality and sound.
Available Options
- OEM-Style Heat Shielding: Redstar's signature thermal management system reduces radiant exhaust heat by up to 80%. Developed with motorsport-inspired materials and construction, it uses a multi-layer design of ceramic insulation and embossed stainless steel foil. Unlike wraps or coatings that degrade quickly, Redstar shielding delivers long-term durability and consistent protection for engine bay components.
- Inconel 625: Utilizing Inconel in an exhaust system offers a winning combination of superior strength and reduced weight compared to stainless steel, resulting in an exhaust note that exudes a distinctly exotic and thrilling sound.
- Exhaust Tip: Reuse OEM tip or add Billet Titanium Exhaust Tip
